This mother, her baby and the mother's sister gathered on our family bed, the labor and delivery bed to share loving this little new life. Birth is meant to be shared with those closest to you and we are so thankful that we can provide a space where women do not have to labor alone, where they can be fully supported by whoever they choose and that they have a clean, comfy, large bed to enjoy these bliss-filled postpartum hours.

Babies for days!
We had 30 women due again for September and somehow 19 of them have waited until now to give birth. That's going to be a very busy 12 days of September!!!

It has been a year full of joy, connections, hard work, and growth. We are so proud of the accomplishments of this first year and are thrilled to report that we have been quite successful in year one. View the Mailchimp message for more details.

Despite the unrest and chaos in Port au Prince, Haiti, our work at Grace has not been significantly impacted at this time. Many of you are concerned about the birth center and staff, and we want you all to know that our work continues.
There was exciting news this morning (March 16) as Ninotte and staff welcomed our 50th baby! Mama arrived at 5:45AM just twelve minutes before she gave birth to her beautiful son.

Because of Grace, 1,175 services were delivered in 2023! From opening in April 2023 to the end of 2023 Grace has done the following: 93 births, 450 prenatal care visits, 300 postpartum care visits, 120 women received well woman care, 67 women screened for cervical cancer, and 145 Adolescents completed Health Education Class.

Happy Holidays from Grace! The midwives, nurses, and staff at Grace Community Birth Center have settled into a busy routine as the number of families seeking birth care and well woman services continues to increase. We have done over 300 prenatal visits and have taken care of 31 women in labor since we opened our door in April of this year!
